Renaissance Part 1 Details (Translated)

As I stated in my last blog post, Nexon Japan is releasing a series of patches called “MapleStory Renaissance.” I gave a short summary of what each of the contents were in the first update, but now I’ve decided to translate the information given to us straight from the Renaissance teaser page. Without further adeu, here you go :

“Can’t you become friends with the monsters of Maple and battle along side them?”
The system to fulfill that dream has finally appeared!
If you obtain the items called “Familiar” that drop from monsters, you can summon that monster and fight along side it!
There are more than 500 varieties of monsters you can become friends with!

What kind of system is this?

・Movement : Like pets, the monsters follow your character from behind!
・Vitality and Summon Duration : The monsters don’t have HP. Instead, “Vitality” determines their summon duration! Their vitality decreases as the monster attacks, but when you don’t have it summoned, its vitality is recovered.
・Rarity and Skill : Rarity is determined by what rank they are, either “Common,” “Special,” “Rare,” or “Legendary.” Depending on the rarity and the variety of the monster, the skills you can use will change!
・Limitation : You cannot summon monsters that are above your own character’s level.

The ability to inflict “Spirit Skills” that can be added as a potential ability to weapons has appeared!
You can apply “Spirit Scrolls” to items with potential ability to make them into “Spirit Weapons!”
When you attack monsters, you have the ability to suck out and collect the monster’s spirit and when you collect the “Spirit Balls,” you can use “Spirit Skills!”
With boss monster spirits, you can use a special, powerful skill!

To exterminate the Black Mage, Empress Cygnus believed the power of the World Tree was required.
However, the heroes of the Maple World fell into a the Black Mage’s trap at the World Tree.
Did the founder of the Knights of Cygnus, Empress Cygnus, fall under the control of the Black Mage when she fell into his trap……!?
High level heroes! Save the Maple World and Cygnus!

“Door to the Future” Play Requirements

Those players who clear these high requirements can participate in the expedition!
